Movin’ On Up….

Monday, January 2nd, 2012

Signs point to a rise in new construction and the housing market overall, according to the Washington Post.

“A wide range of housing indicators — construction, home sales, prices — have stabilized in the past few months, although they remain at historically very low levels. And it looks as if construction activity in particular will pick up in 2012.”

New construction starts, in particular, showed a 9.3% increase in November 2011, the highest it’s been in 19 months. Issued building permits also increased by 5.7%.

Do YOU like steamed crabs?

Monday, July 18th, 2011

Last week, our company ventured to Baltimore for our annual Kaine Day Out. In the spirit of summertime, Brooke treated everyone to steamed crabs at Obrycki’s!

Obrycki’s has been in business for over 50 years and is THE seafood and crab house in Fells Point, Baltimore. There menu ranges from delicious fried oysters to dozens of steamed crabs with Obrycki’s special seasoning.

Our lunch conversation lead to one very important question if you live in Maryland: Can you and do you like to pick crabs? (Don’t miss out on this blog post in the future!)

Make your reservation to pick crabs at Obrycki’s asap, they are closing their doors for good this November. To decide what you should have before you get there, read some of their Yelp reviews!

Thanks Brooke for such a great day!

‘Where’s Brooke?’ this week was a bit trickier….were you able to guess where he was?
Where's Brooke Shoppe for Hospice pixilated

If you guessed Calvert Shoppe for Hospice, you are correct!
Where's Brooke Shoppe for Hospice

Shoppe for Hospice is located in the Kaine Industrial Park on Old Town Road in Huntingtown. The women’s clothing store offers gently used clothing, in all sizes, at very reasonable prices. The “Boutique Section,” where our very own Brooke posed for his photo, offers designer clothing as well. You can also find accessories, such as jewelry, handbags and scarves. Visit the shoppe Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.

The best things are not the prices; the facility is 100% run by volunteers and all proceeds benefit Calvert Hospice.

If you’re interested in cleaning out your closet and donating to a very worthy cause, please visit the shoppe with your gently used items Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.

Real Estate Report, Calvert County

Monday, April 25th, 2011

Interested in the market trends for the past four months? Here are a couple of points worth reading:

•Sales prices were the highest this March since January of 2010! From January 2011 to March 2011, there was a $25,000.00 increase.
•December saw a nice jump in homes sales, breaking 80, but January and February brought us right back to the 60’s and below where we were Fall 2010. We saw another jump for March, probably due to better weather!
•We didn’t have anything exciting to report on the number of days a house sits on the market but what a change in February! A house sold almost 50 days faster! While that number crept back up in March, homes that sat for long periods of time are also finally selling.
